Ebola victims to be brought to U S for treatment???

While the bipartisan voice grows to ban Ebola victims from entering the United States, a new report claims that President Obama is considering a plan to bring the world’s Ebola patients to the United States to be treated.

Judicial Watch, the conservative public watchdog group, says in a shocking report that the president is “actively formulating plans” to admit Ebola-infected non-citizens just to be treated.

“Specifically, the goal of the administration is to bring Ebola patients into the United States for treatment within the first days of diagnosis,” said the group.

Wasn't this the whole point of Ellis Island? They should not be allowed in.

The Judicial Watch report quotes an anonymous source - in other words, Martians have declared that Ebola victims are to be admitted to the US according to other unnamed sources. Before we get our panties all in a bunch let's wait until something is known from a reliable (and identified) source.

This from official US GOV WEBSITE...basically if you can get here we won't kick you back out...just like the "unaccompanied minor" debacle which is spreading disease and crime. The concept of bringing infected victims fits a pattern



In short, the USCIS has been waiving fees, expediting the immigration process, and allowing extensions of visas for anyone coming from the three designated Ebola-stricken countries, provided that they are in the United States. The Free Republic blog reported that the law firm of Edward W. Neufville, III, LLC, a Washington, D.C. area immigration firm, added a section to their website two days after the USCIS announcement, with more details about how these relief measures would work, including extensions of the time that the foreign national could remain in the United States, additional work permit opportunities, and even forgiveness for failure to appear at required interviews or submit required evidence. According to the Neufville firm, the new USCIS policies mean that "[i]ndividuals from Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea currently in the United States may apply for an extension or change in status due to the Ebola Outbreak, even if their request is filed after the authorized period of admission has expired." Otherwise stated, this means that someone from one of those countries who illegally overstayed their visa can now apply for an extension, or someone who arrived illegally can apply to get legal status.

This just touches one of my sensitive spots. Far too many college seniors in my classes don't know how to evaluate internet-derived sources. Their general attitude is that if I see it on the internet, and it agrees with me, it must be right. If it is about science then it doesn't have to agree with me since I don't know any science to be agreed with, but it is still right.

I've done that but a link doesn't seem to appear...maybe I'm not copying the right part of articles?
